[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzMzODk1NDI4XzUyRDkzMDkz] Twin Falls Man Wants Congress to Remember Idaho's Downwinders http://magicvalley.com/news/local/twin-falls-man-wants-congress-to-remember-idaho-s-downwinders/article_8eb79604-fab3-56d3-bd2b-3fde3c7b639e.html?comment_form=true [snip] TWIN FALLS• With the Cold War raging, Dean Hodges watched with curiosity and pride as the United States government conducted nearly 200 atmospheric nuclear weapons development tests in southern Nevada from 1945 to 1962. “I had a lot of priorities and being worried about the testing wasn’t one of them,” said Hodges, 79, of Twin Falls. “I don’t think anybody really was.” Fallout from decades of testing contained Iodine 131, among other toxins, and in 1997 the National Cancer Institute released a report showing the Gem State was the third hardest hit. As an Idaho “downwinder,” Hodges is disappointed Congress hasn’t yet expanded RECA. “For the government, which caused this problem, to say [b]‘Your thyroid isn’t worth anything, you aren’t worth anything,’[/b] it’s tough to take,” Hodges said. “[b][color=red]When you have cancer [/color][/b]it doesn’t just impact you. Your entire family is devastated.” [/quote]
